I have truly enjoyed the banter that you have propagated throughout this post, it has been most entertaining. I am a bit surprised however that someone as enlightened as you would be goaded into making such a prejudicial comment as ‘all Nationalists are farting, grunting idiots’ (I am paraphrasing, forgive me). I thought such narrow-minded, hateful rhetoric was reserved exclusively for use by the uneducated right-wing…surely you can do better. I am also amused by the irony of your screen name; especially your use of the word ‘work’ – using all lower case letters was a nice touch though.
In order to fulfill your wish of having someone present a counter-argument to the myriad of ‘points’ you have made, I have decided to respond. In the interest of time, however, I will respond only to those points based in fact (we accuse right-wingers of being conspiracy theory mongers all the time – it wouldn’t be fair) and those points devoid of logical fallacies any freshman philosophy student could avoid (i.e.; feelings, distraction from the argument, misinformation, generalization, irrelevant connections, etc.).
OK….hmmmm…….Well, I guess that’s it then.
Gee, I’m not sure what to do with the time I had set aside for this little e-debate. I guess I’ll just have to go back to farting and grunting.
P.S.
I had to have one of my liberal friends help me write this. OK, maybe he is not really my friend so much as someone who feels sorry for me because I am such an idiot.
Farting? Grunting?
